ANHA reported that the Turkish military, along with its Syrian rebel allies, hit several residential areas in Tal Rifat, a Kurdish town which is located 40 kilometers north of Aleppo.
Ten other civilians were wounded. There were children among the dead and wounded, according to ANHA.
Tal Rifat is still under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), but is also home to thousands of non-combatants.
Turkey began a cross-border offensive against the Kurds in Syria in October after Trump announced the withdrawal of US troops from the area. At one point around 300,000 people fled their homes and 100,000 remain displaced, according to the UN.
